The Hobbit Hole III - Journey to the Cross-roads!

Posted on 12/17/2002 7:32:02 AM PST by HairOfTheDog

Welcome to The Hobbit Hole!

Journey to the Cross-roads

The Two Towers Edition

Come on! Come in! -if you would like to have some seedcakes and a pint and relax a while. (If it is a special occasion, we still have a few bottles of the old wineyards left!)

Our first thread ( New Zealander builds Hobbit hole ) reached 4,100 posts, and we thought that was big. Our second thread (The New Hobbit Hole ) held us for over 48,000 posts, and we loved it dearly. We talked about moving to a new thread for the last 38,000 posts, but we are really slow to muster! Finally, the time has come. Tomorrow (at 12:01 am, to be precise!) The Two Towers comes out, and we start a new chapter.

Are you familiar with Sean Bean as Richare Sharpe

I've heard of the part he plays as Sharpe, mostly just regarding his line "Still sharp" in FOTR, but never watched them. I didn't know they were on DVD, thanks. I will look for them. I'm looking forward to seeing him in the role of Ulysses, and I was glad when I heard he had been offered the role. :)

Awwww, shucks. This is the day I go around looking for black cats, walking on cracks and spilling salt. Cast fate to the wind, what the heck. :)

EEEEEK!

What the heck is this?

Yes, I know it is a frog.... But WE DON"T HAVE FROGS LIKE THIS HERE! I seriously don't think we have anything like this native here. Just little tree frogs. This thing is huge! It was hopping across my yard so I caught it.

One of the guys I worked with managed to break about four mirrors at once. They were moving some from the residence halls here at the college. I figure as long as he's around, he'll take up all the bad luck. ;)

Whoa, that IS a big frog.

And what's even weirder is that he is carrying around some cash! Maybe it's a terrorist trying to sneak in from Canada.

Stay on the lookout Hair!

Heyyyy....Boromir is a good guy!

Yeah, but as Sharpe he is an unambiguously good guy.

That isn't huge. It looks like a bullfrog, and they are as big as chickens down here, and taste like 'em too.

American Bullfrog Rana catesbeiana

The Bullfrog is native to the central and eastern United States and the southern portions of Ontario and Quebec. The Bullfrog has been introduced to many areas in the western United States creating patchy populations.

I dunno...the shape of it looks wrong to me. Bullfrogs eyes usually stick out more, and the ones I've seen are colored differently.

Maybe part of that is just that we're seeing it from above, though.

FYI - I can't get into the forum anymore. I'm getting the same Apache page everyone is. I've already deleted my cookies to start again, but still no luck.
